They think of themselves as a separate country. This island has been conquered more times by more cultures than almost anywhere else on earth and the influence of these various invaders is evident in the foods, the grapes, the wines, and the soul of Sicily. Peter Granoff, Founding Partner at Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant, will explore with you the many facets of Sicilian wine. There has been a winemaking revolution in this region that has changed the way wines are made in Sicily. Equipment is more modern, growing methods have been updated, winemaking techniques have been altered. The result is the overall quality has soared. Yet, amidst all of this change, there remains an essence of Sicily that pervades her wines. We will taste the wide range of flavors offered from this dynamic region, from dark, brooding Nero d'Avola to crisp, bright, refreshing whites such as Grillo. If you love Italian wine, do not miss this chance to explore Sicily.
